NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TransPerfect, the world’s largest privately held provider of language
services and technology solutions, today announced the opening of its
newest client service office in Johannesburg, South Africa. With this
opening, TransPerfect’s global footprint expands to six continents.

“As one of the major
commercial and financial hubs in Africa, Johannesburg was the clear
choice for our next location. We are thrilled to be opening our first
location in Africa, and we look forward to serving our clients
throughout the region.”

As a major world financial center, Johannesburg has the largest economy
of any metropolitan region in sub-Saharan Africa and is home to Africa’s
largest stock exchange. The city has a strong legacy as a mining
powerhouse, and many of the world’s leading mining companies have
operations there. However, in recent years, other industries, including
manufacturing, banking, IT, transportation and consumer retail have also
grown to become key components of the city’s economy. Major companies
with South African roots include Old Mutual, De Beers, South African
Airways, SASOL, and MTN Group.

According to TransPerfect Co-CEO Liz Elting, “As one of the major
commercial and financial hubs in Africa, Johannesburg was the clear
choice for our next location. We are thrilled to be opening our first
location in Africa, and we look forward to serving our clients
throughout the region.”
